Product Description
Leather Belt Loops / Keeper
We offer the option to buy matching additional leather belt loops / keepers.
Select color and belt width.
N.B. These loops are made to slide over two layers of a belt or strap.
We allow 8mm (5/ 16 ” ) thickness in total i.e. 4mm ( 5/32″) for two belt layers.
The loops are not made to be drum tight so they can easily slide over the belt.
The leather loops (keepers) do not unclip – i.e. the two ends are joined by a fixed rivet.
Therefore you will need an open ended strap to use these loops.
Please see our Loop Size Guidance Tab for detailed information on how to select the correct size and more specific dimensions we use for our small, medium and large loops /keepers.
Further instructions:
Measure the width of your belt and select the desired โColorโ and โBelt Widthโ from sizes offered on the drop down list.
We will then make a loop with a circumference that will accommodate the width of the belt you have selected.
N.B.ย The sizes we provide are not the width of the loop / keeper.
Loop / keeper widths are always larger than the belt width as they must be able to freely slide across the belt width and also accommodate two layers of the belt or strap it is intended for.
Made in UK by Belt Designs.
Belt Loop Colors: Black, Brown, Dark Brown, Tan, Light Tan, Navy Blue, White, Green, Burgundy, Natural, Red
Made To Measure Bespoke Loops
If you would like a bespoke size belt loop then please contact us.
This may be required if you have an exceptionally wide belt or it is made of exceptionally heavy leather whereby the thickness of the leather strap is greater than 1/8 inch (4mm).
Handy Tip:
If you require an additional leather belt loop to be positioned someway around your waist when wearing pants then the following is the best way to achieve this:
Hold the leather loop in position against your pants waist band where you intend to use it. Slide the belt through the first pants loop(s) and then the additional leather loop whilst holding it in position against your pants and then through the remaining ‘pants loops’ . You will then find that you do not need to pass the free sliding leather loop through the restricted area of the ‘pants loops’ as it will already be in the correct position on your waistband.
Using the above method means you do not necessarily require a belt loop that unclips. These loops are a fixed rivet closure and they are designed to stay closed.
Colour: Black, Brown, Dark Brown, Light Tan, Tan, Green, Red, Navy Blue, Natural Leather, White

FULFILLMENT OF YOUR ORDER
We mainly use Royal Mail to deliver customer orders if shipped from our main warehouse in the UK.ย If you order more than one item on occasion these items maybe sent separately if they are held in different locations. We will notify you if this is the case. Items dispatched via Royal Mail will be delivered via USPS in the USA. Orders placed with Express Shipping are sent via Courier service.
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR HOLIDAY INFORMATION
Business days are Monday to Friday UK time excluding public and bank holidays.
If we receive orders on 23rd and 24th December (and these occur on business days) it is unlikely they will be dispatched until the first or second UK business day after Christmas โ please check with us before placing your order during this time if you need the item urgently. Some orders received between 26th and 31st December may also not be dispatched until the first or second business day in the New Year as there is a limited postal service during this time and our craftsmen may not be available to make the items ordered. We try to dispatch as much as possible during the interim period between Christmas Day and New Years Eve but its not always possible to dispatch all orders until after the Christmas and New Year holiday time.
Made to measure and hand finished items that are made to order may take a little longer.
DUTY AND TAXES
All product prices and shipping fees exclude any personalization, tax and import duty cost unless stated otherwise.ย All shipping fees will be displayed on the checkout page once you have entered the shipping address details including country of destination.
If you live outside the UK and/or have Goods sent outside the UK, then you maybe liable for further customs duty (import tax) that may be applied during shipment and we cannot be held responsible for any further costs due to local customs and duty taxes. The carrier will generally ask the recipient to pay for this import tax upon delivery.
USA โ Delivery and New USA Duty and Customs Rules
Since the suspension of the US โDe Minimusโ for parcels under $800 orders destined for the USA will be sent โDelivered Duty Paidโ. This means ordinarily you should not have to pay any additional duty once your parcel arrives in the USA .
We have chosen this method so that our USA Customers can continue to order from our website with the intention that the parcels will move swiftly through CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). The prices we display will include the duty that we will pay to our courier with the intention that the parcels will move swiftly through USA Borders and Customs. However we cannot make any guarantee that this will be the case and you may still be contacted by the USA Customs Authorities if they require any further details or payments.
N.B. Belt Designs make every effort to include all the necessary documentation at the time of dispatch including invoices and CN22 or CN23 forms to ensure items clear USA customs as quickly as possible however we cannot be held responsible for any further costs or delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
Measure the width of your belt or bag strap and select desired Color and Belt Width the Loop/ Keeper is intended for.
We will then make a loop / keeper with a circumference that will accommodate the width of the belt / bag strap you have selected.
For Instance if you select 38mm (1.5″) we will make a loop to fit a 38mm (1.5″) wide Belt or Bag Strap.
N.B. The sizes we provide are not the diameter of the loop.
Loop diameters are always larger than the belt width as they must be able to slide freely over the full width of the belt /strap and must also accommodate two layers of the belt or strap it is intended for.
โโ-
We use both Millimeters and Inches to describe belt / strap widths.
We have given a rounded conversion below.
Millimeters To Inches (rounded to nearest 1/16 of inch):
10mm = 3/8 inch
12mm = 1/2 inch
15mm = 5/8 inch
20mm = 3/4 inch
22mm = 7/8 inch
25mm = 1 inch
28mm = 1 1/8 inch
30mm = 1 3/16 inch
32mm = 1 1/4 inch
35mm = 1 3/8 inch
38mm = 1 1/2 inch
40mm = 1 9/16 inch
45mm = 1 3/4 inch
50mm = 2 inch
55mm = 2 3/16 inch
60mm = 2 3/8 inch
Dimensions we use to make our loops
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ-
1. LOOPS/ KEEPERS Made for Belts and Straps 28mm (1 1/8 approxโ) Wide and Over:
Loops made for belt and bags straps that are 28mm (1 1/8โณ) wide and over are made to accommodate two layers of leather that are approximately 3.5 โ 4mm thick for each layer i.e. up to a maximum of 8mm thick for two layers together (approx 5/16 inch in total).
2. LOOPS/ KEEPERS Made for Belts and Straps Under 28mm (1 1/8โณ approx):
Loops made for belt and bags straps that are under 28mm wide (1 1/8โณ approx) are made to accommodate two layers of leather that are approximately 3 mm thick for each layer i.e. a total of approximately 6mm thick for two layers (1/4 inch thick in total).
โ
We use the above measurements as we have found them to be the average size for most belts and bag straps.
If your belt or strap differs to the average measurements we use to make our loops or you require a loop to accommodate more or less than two belt / strap layers then you may need to size up or down to allow for this difference.
Alternatively please contact us if you require a custom size and we can provide a price for this service.
N.B. Customized products are non-returnable as they are made to your specification and cannot be resold as a standard product.
DETAILS REGARDING THE STRIPS OF LEATHER WE USE TO FORM THE LOOPS / KEEPERS
The width of the leather strips that we use to form the loops are as follows:
Loops / Keepers made to fit belts between 10mm โ 25mm Wide โ Leather strips that form the loops / keepers are 10mm wide ( 3/8″ approx)
Loops / Keepers made to fit belts between 28mm -35mm Wide โ Leather strips that form the loops / keepers are 12mm wide (1/2″ approx )
Loops / Keepers made to fit belts 38mm Wide and above โ Leather strips that form the loops / keepers are 16mm wide (5/8″ approx )
i.e. The strips of leather are formed into loops and will accommodate the width of the belt selected from the drop down list. i.e. If you select 28 mm (1 1/8 inch)ย we will make a loop / keeper to fit a 28 mm (1 1/8 inch) wide belt and the strip of leather used to make this loop will be 12mm wide (1/2″ approx).

Glen –
I bought a Burgundian loop.
I had my local tailor add a stud to the loop and now it looks nice on my belt.
Thank you!
Vinay –
Product was exactly as described. Now my belt end stays nicely tucked in. Excellent quality.
W T Robinson (verified owner) –
I am very happy with this product – very hard to find good belt loops.
Austin Bradley (verified owner) –
Itโs perfect. Does the job exactly how I needed and it looks nice.
Christian (verified owner) –
Isnโt what it looks like. Ordered one a few weeks back. Looks like it unclips on the metal part to open up but doesnโt. Canโt use it. Not a one star review because Iโm sure it has a use that someone may find useful.
